ALICIA AND JOSEPH'S WEDDING

"Our wedding was great! Getting married in Detroit,MI was really fun, and we managed to stay withing our budget with money left over! It truly was a blessing to not be wedding-broke. August is a great time of the year in Detroit, so the weather was perfect. Wedding Mapper was a great resource to share with our guests and tie everything together from the wedding. We highly recommend using it for your event."

Decorations Vendor:

"The items were on time, clean and worked perfectly with our event. However, they did not actually charge us for our order until a couple of weeks after the wedding and that can be frustrating for your budget. We actually did not notice that we did not pay them and they remarked that they forgot to charge us. Other than that it was a great experience."

Ceremony:

"I love this church! It is a great venue with 2 aisles in the sanctuary which allow for a lot of creativity. The sanctuary also has a lot of stage room and a downstairs banquet hall which holds about 150-200 people comfortably. It was a great experience to have our wedding AND reception here!"

This is one of the largest African American museums in the country. The permanent exhibit is "And Still I Rise." This long-term exhibition serves as the central experience of our museum. The 22,000 square-foot exhibition space contains more than 20 galleries that allow patrons to travel over time and across geographic boundaries.
The journey begins in prehistoric Africa, the cradle of human life. Guests then witness several ancient and early modern civilizations that evolved on the continent. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean, they experience the tragedy of the middle passage and encounter those who resisted the horrors of bondage, emancipated themselves and sometimes took flight by way of the Underground Railroad. Throughout this trip, the efforts of everyday men and women who built families, businesses, educational institutions, spiritual traditions, civic organizations and a legacy of freedom and justice in past and present-day Detroit are hailed. What an awesome journey!"

The story begins with Berry Gordy, Jr. and a small house in Detroit that he christened, Hitsville USA (now home to Motown Historical Museum). The story continues as Motown evolves into a major entertainment enterprise that was among the most diverse and influential in the world."
